Poll: Milk Placement

Door, obviously.

i do not have a designated place for the milk. it will always vary depending on what else is in the fridge.

Our refrigerator door has the handle placed upon the left side and the door swings open left-to-right, so that the left side of the top shelf is the most accessible placement for any item. In our house, the milk goes there. This is a bit odd, because we do not drink much milk.

you can say i have an intersectional approach to milk placement

milk should go in the coldest part of the fridge and/or closest to the sweetest and/or unscented items

CLEARLY it goes on the left. CLEARLY. I mean, how could I ever have been so stupid, and can you ever forgive me for my stupidity? Maybe next time the milk can go DIRECTLY IN THE TRASH.

milk should go in the coldest part of the fridge

The door is usually the warmest part of a fridge.

How is milk being put on a shelf? What kind of palatial fridges do you people have?

right

so elsewhere:

bottom left, right above the fruits and next to sweet/unscented stuff

varies on what type of fridge you have tho

xp to aimless

fridges don't have shelves in the UK?

In the uk, milk is not refrigerated and "shelf" refers to male pattern baldness

door, though i only buy it when i'm cooking/baking with it as i am lactose intolerant

I hate the stuff, I'm talking about soya milk or any other substitute.

sour with a nice moldy froth

stir it with a bit of bread and down the pipe it goes

i am a member of the sarahell school of milk placement

door obv

No milk. It's been replaced by yogurt for cereal, and sometimes half-and-half for coffee and cooking.

i don't keep milk in the fridge, i get it fresh from the bull at the farm down the road

milk is so disgusting

but the question is where you do (or do not) place said milk in your refrigerator. not about your feelings regarding its relative merits as a foodstuff.

i get it fresh from the bull

!!!!!

half and half on the top shelf on the left
milk in the door on the right

I guess we all have a new euphemism for, uh, "bizarro milk"

our current fridge is weird where the top shelf is real narrow and doesn't hold tall things, so the milk goes on the second shelf - usually on the right but sometimes the middle. I have never fought about milk position -- now percentage of milkfat, though, that's something to shed blood over.

Wherever there's enough room (usually the door)

I haven't drank milk in over 20 years, makes little sense to digest something that's meant for another animal's babies.

almost never any milk in my fridge but it goes in the door when i've got some

In the door, lined up in order of purchase - with oldest to the front of the row to use first.

I put it in the bit that's expressly designed for holding cartons/bottles i.e. the door

i have opinions about milk but not the placement of milk but i nonetheless opened this thread and typed a response into it

Our beverage shelf is second from the top and is set up to be tall enough to accomodate a half-gallon of milk. Milk currently on the left side.

...but it can go either way.

In the door, next to the Pimm's.

Store milk and other dairy products in the refrigerator below 40°F, but never store milk in the refrigerator door where it is susceptible to warmer air from opening and closing the door.

*rolls eyes, makes jerking-off motion with hand*

From a site with an article entitled "Are sprouts safe to eat?"

well, commercially grown sprouts have been the culprit in more than one salmonella outbreak, so it could be considered a fair question.

typical ilx result ie a travesty

to me the sizable plurality for "on the door" simply means few ixors buy milk in any quantity above a liter. when you think of the ilx demographics this makes some sense.

We're half gallon people

Gallon of milk in the door, up-next gallon sitting on the shelf in the back and to the right. I think the warmth of the door area is going to affect your milk life only if you take a really long time to go through a gallon of milk.

a refrigerator door compartment of such vasty depth as to accommodate a full gallon of milk? you've broken my imagination.

It's a tight fit

My fridge is not that big by US midwest standards, but, y'know, US midwest standards

what the fuck are you guys mcpoyles

Don't generally have milk, only if expecting houseguests or plumber, in which case, a single pint of supermarket semi-skimmed in the fridge door - probably the bottom door shelf but this is a useful space for taller bottles so it may get evicted to the middle door shelf, or mid/top shelf of main fridge

Have just been zapping all the bits of the fridge with a laser thermometer and can report that the middle/upper parts of our fridge door are alarmingly not-cold so perhaps this is not the best place for dairy

(sudden interest in fridge temperatures because we thought the fridge had died yesterday, but it was just having a little trouble with having 3kg of still slightly warm turkey shoved in)

*googles* "The McPoyles are an inbred family known for their insatiable lust for milk. "

Yes! Finally, someone gets me.

is that a plastic cup with a saran wrap lid in the bottom left

Uh, yeah. The last of a gallon of apple cider.
